[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally normal for us, but my 7 year old does have diagnosed adhd. But I notice his friends who I think are NT have similar personalities, lots of silliness and lots of energy. They usually know how to dial it back before my son does though. Boys that age are a lot to handle.[/quote]
I came here to say the same. My son is 8.5 with adhd and is just like you describe- annoying high pitched fake laugh , over the top silliness, trouble reading social cues that his friends think he is being weird instead of funny. Every year he does mature a little bit more, but so do his NT friends. And since adhd boys tend to lag a year or two in social skills, and my kid is already an August birthday who we didn’t hold back, the social stuff seems more noticeable for sure.

And no I don’t wish I’d held him back, he was reading Harry Potter on his own and doing long addition and subtraction in his head when he started K, he would have been even more bored and even more of a handful if we’d held him back, I can’t even imagine. His cogat was 99% across the board for grade last year. [/quote]
